Topic: Origin and adding games. (Read 7412 times)

If it's available on Origin as a download already, and you own the game, it's worth a try. I managed to get Crysis and Mirrors edge added that way, two that the codes did not work right away, but many will.

i hate origin and games for windows live why can't all developers use steam. steams awesome while origin and games for windows live have pissed me off to many time's. Example is that I bought dead space 1 twice over the years once physical cd and once digital with steam both come with a product key and apparently according to origin games from 2008 that can be identified on origin are to old to be accepted and to be given to me my origin account. while a CD of half life 1 from the 90's with a key on the back works fine and gave me the entire half life platinum collection.

oh wow man then origin must be shit, its not like steam is th exact same fuckin way lol, nop u can buy a retail copy of ANY gfame on steam an just use any cd key an steam will get u th game, its urs, dont worry about it, steams got your back..

except steam is pretty shit tho, its a seriously flawed service, and there are way better suporeriour digital distrvirution services out there.

also u dont seem 2 understand how the market works u cant just have 1 service hold an entire monpoloy on an entire market, that kinda fuks things up badly, you need 2 have different choices an options, there needs 2 be competeition.

so..my question would be..if u buy a game uve a license on it so what if steam for eg wouldve to close down their toilets forever wouldnt theyve to make sure that ull get copys from ur game since uve a right on it by license?

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no lol what

thtats not how licences work dude, if steam goes down, u lose everythin uve bought on steam p much, u only hav the license 2 use th prodcuts on steam, while steam is in action (i havent read the actual license agreement, tho i totally should, but im p sure thats how it works).

u dont own any of the games uve bought on steam, so no, valve has no duty to make sure u get copies of everything.

I've read somewhere..steam claims "IF" it ever goes under,or if there's a risk of servers going down..they will give warning,and patch out all "steam based drm".. which can be done now if you know where to look.. once risk of losing steam account isn't an issue (if they go under) SFW.

all that said...I feel if steam goes under,something massive has happened to the economy,and we're all fucked anyway..
